Take Up Bat To Stay In The Game

摘要

We should be familiar with the concept of BAT (best available techniques) for pollution prevention. It was more than 20 years ago that the Air Framework Directive (AFD) first introduced BATNEEC (best available techniques not entailing excessive costs) for air emissions from major industrial polluters.rnThis was followed in 1996 by the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) Directive, which extended BAT to cover the control of emissions to water and land, as well as air.
